Though, it does help that your health resets each fight, so you don’t have to worry too much about going down to the wire in a fight. There’s a serious randomness component to the combat, one that you have to use intelligently in order to win each battle.

Now, you don’t have to lay down any tiles at all, and you may wonder why you would want to lay down enemies at all. No fake doors here! You can lay down tiles that contain gold, and these are useful because they really draw heroes to them, if you’re trying to draw a specific path. You can lay down room tiles to create paths, though you have to make sure all adjacent exits are connected. The whole concept of Guild of Dungeoneering is that you don’t actually have direct control of any of your units as they move about, but you can influence their actions by laying down one of three kinds of tiles on the dungeon floor from a hand of 5 tiles each turn. It has its own quirks and shortcomings, but really it’s like nothing you’ve ever played before. ![]() Well, it took a year and a half between the game’s continued development and PC release to finally make it happen, but this curious little roguelike where you use tile cards to build the dungeons as you traverse them and fight enemies using a separate card system, is well worth the wait.
